    Good on you mate. I have no idea why you are being downvoted when you are being the big man when called out.

    I do understand your position - it is bloody annoying to have to remind people how the web works but in this case you are doing a “show and tell”.

    When doing something like that I think you should show all and tell all. “Here’s what I did and how I did it and here’s how you can do it too”. That’s why I went in with the rather dodgy ankle reference! Think about when you see those influencers with worryingly pneumatic lips and arses that might double as seating for a friend. They show all, really all and some make a decent living at it. Now think about what sort of response you want for one of your show and tells.

    I do confess that I used to do the same as you - I blasted away at someone on The Register a fair few years ago and was called out and subsequently apologised. That was a game changer for me and I suspect for you now. That doesn’t mean that you can’t get riled occasionally but make sure it counts and you are in the right or at least nearly right … OK you think you are right 8)

    Cool beans!

    Cheers Jon

      I think the downvotes are just for the earlier comments where they didn’t come off great. The turnaround post is getting positive.

      And personally I loved the ankle analogy. Happy birthday!
